Spiritual Leadership and Employee Engagement in Ramadhan: Enhancing Organizational Commitment Through Religious Values

Abstract

Organizational commitment and employee engagement are key factors in determining the sustainability and productivity of an organization. In the context of the month of Ramadan, spiritual leadership plays an important role in building a harmonious work environment, where religious values can increase employee motivation and loyalty. This study aims to analyze how spiritual leadership can increase employee engagement and strengthen organizational commitment through the application of religious values. The method used in this study is a literature study with a qualitative approach, where data is obtained from various relevant academic sources, such as scientific journals, books, and research articles related to spiritual leadership, employee engagement, and organizational commitment during the month of Ramadan. The analysis was conducted using the thematic analysis method, which aims to identify patterns and relationships between spiritual leadership and employee engagement in the organization. The results of the study show that spiritual leadership applied effectively during the month of Ramadan has a significant impact on increasing employee engagement and commitment. Leaders who prioritize spiritual values such as honesty, empathy, and social care are able to create a more positive and productive work environment. In addition, the flexibility of working hours and support for worship practices during Ramadan have been proven to improve employee well-being, ultimately contributing to the loyalty and stability of the organization. Therefore, organizations in various sectors need to consider a spiritual leadership approach as part of a sustainable human resource management strategy.
